Free Download Out of the World (Cultural Memory in the Present) by Peter Sloterdijk, translated by Corey A. Dansereau, Gill Zimmermann
English | May 7, 2024 | ISBN: 1503633292, 1503639002 | True EPUB | 246 pages | 1.5 MB
In this essential early work, the preeminent European philosopher Peter Sloterdijk offers a cross-cultural and transdisciplinary meditation on humanity’s tendency to refuse the world. Developing the first seeds of his anthropotechnics, Sloterdijk theorizes consciousness as a medium, tuned and retuned over the course of technological and social history. His subject here is the "world-alien" (Weltfremdheit) in man that was formerly institutionalized in religions, but is increasingly dealt with in modern times through practices of psychotherapy.

Why do we remember events from our childhood as if they happened yesterday, but not what we did last week? Why does our memory seem to work well sometimes and not others? What happens when it goes wrong? Can memory be improved or manipulated, by psychological techniques or even ‘brain implants’? How does memory grow and change as we age? And what of so-called ‘recovered’ memories?

Free Download Jim Cullen, "From Memory to History: Television Versions of the Twentieth Century"
English | ISBN: 1978813813 | 2021 | 255 pages | AZW3 | 9 MB
Our understanding of history is often mediated by popular culture, and television series set in the past have provided some of our most indelible images of previous times. Yet such historical television programs always reveal just as much about the era in which they are produced as the era in which they are set; there are few more quintessentially late-90s shows than That ’70s Show, for example.

Free Download David Bloch, "Aristotle on Memory and Recollection: Text, Translation, Interpretation, and Reception in Western Scholasticism "
English | ISBN: 9004160469 | 2007 | 276 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Twentieth-century Scholarship on Aristotle’s De Memoria et Reminiscentia was dominated by the view that Aristotle’s theories of memory and recollection are basically very similar to ours. By means of a new critical edition of the Greek text, an essay on Aristotle’s own theories and an essay on these theories as they were received in the Latin West, the present book offers material that challenges the opinio communis. The result is a new interpretation of Aristotle’s De Memoria et Reminiscentia and its relevance to the concerns of 21st-century philosophers, both regarding the concepts of memory and recollection and regarding Aristotle’s philosophical methodology.

Free Download Joanna MacGugan PhD, "Social Memory, Reputation and the Politics of Death in the Medieval Irish Lordship"
English | ISBN: 1801510903 | 2023 | 192 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Stories of murderous monks, tavern brawls, robberies gone wrong, tragic accidents and criminal gangs from court records reveal how the English of medieval Ireland governed and politicized death and collectively decided what passed for ‘ truth’ in legal proceedings. This study of the social practices underlying the lordship’ s legal culture centres on the coroner’ s jurisdiction, homicides and sentences of capital punishment between 1257 and 1344. It highlights how the English of Ireland relied on collective memory, customary law, oral histories, common fame and social networks to assess truth in legal contexts. In the period when courts increasingly emphasized written evidence, the politics of death offered opportunities to employ these social practices to both strengthen and contest the authority of the written word. Exploring how they functioned alongside developing literate practices brings Ireland’ s place in the history of medieval literacy into sharper focus.
